I had a bit of a finder bender in my 89 LX-i. I'm trying to find out if I can replace my front bumper, fender, headlight, and turn signals with parts from a non LX-i/SE-i (ie from a hatch/4door)

I'm having problems finding all the parts and it would be so much easyer if the parts could be interchanged.

thanks,
josh

yeah the parts from all 86-89 lx-i, lx, dx, se-i, hatch or coupe would work

Only things that will not work are the turn signals in the bumper. The 86 and 87 ones will not work in the 88-89 bumpers and visa versa.

I guess if you get the whole cover with the lights it would work ok, right?

If I get an 87 bumper, would I need to buy 87 turn signals?

yes, you'd need those and to convert the connectors.
i did the swap, but vise versa and kept both connectors on so i can use both front ends.

My suggestion to you is to just go to the junkyard and find good donor parts from an 88-89. But all the headlight buckets and fenders will work
